Rotonda de los Jaliscienses Ilustres

Those of you who may have snoozed a bit in History class might look at the above photo and think, "Eh, that's somewhere in Greece, ain't it?" Well, no. Try North America.

Rotonda de los Jaliscienses Ilustres is a monument located in Guadalajara, Mexico. It commemorates--here's a literally translation--the illustrious people of Jalisco, the state commonly associated with hot peppers and Speedy Gonzales. The monument features 98 urns, each one containing the remains of its respective famous artist, writer, scientist, or thinker from the region. Perhaps one of the best-known figures in the United States is José Clemente Orozco, a Mexican muralist.
